Saratoga Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance
ORTLEY AVENUE (3) went forward when resuming last start over 1106m at this track (Turf) and held on well for second, beaten one length. Drawn to take a nice trail just off the speed. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ANYWAY (1) is on a seven-day back-up after finishing in the money over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt). Inside draw will assist and is capable of taking this out. BRIGHTLINE BULLET (8) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten 1.1 lengths, over 1106m at this track when returning from a break. Should park just off the speed. One to consider. OIL CAPITAL (10) hit the frame two starts ago at Saratoga but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 6 lengths over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt). Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.

Comes here off a 31-day let-up. Last start held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at Saratoga on August 5 over 1207m, 0.6 len behind Sharons Beach with 55kg at $4.15. The start before that 6th of 13 at Saratoga on June 6 over 1308m, 8 len behind Buttah carrying 55kg at $50.73. Would be better placed in something easier.

Second run back. First-up after three months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a 0.3 len at this track on August 7 over 1106m defeating New York Scrappy carrying 57kg at $3.72.

Back after a long spell. Only had one start last campaign 4th of 12 at Churchill Downs Turf on November 2 over 1811m, 2.5 len behind Montador carrying 53.5kg at $5.38. Won previous preparation first up scored a big 8 len win at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf on August 25 2025 over 1609m defeating Hurricane Express carrying 54.5kg at $1.60. Looks up against it.
